No where did Jordan say that. He acutally said that it is very unlikely and extremely rare that a club goes into liquidation.

@nigefal true my comment was a bit facetious. But I got annoyed at the criticism of the reading fans actions without SJ offering any alternative. The only alternative he gave was that it is likely someone will buy us. That doesn't fill any fans with hope when you have an owner that has already refused to talk to eligible buyers (of which i believe there has been at least 3) and seems more than happy to let the club liquidate (of which he has 2 examples of this on his CV)

No Simon was telling how it works. It's a Limited company, which means anyone can own it with the correct bid and will do as they wish. Fan's are not share holders, but can apply pressure. I do not agree with what what these money laundering owners are doing at all, but Simon just states facts.

@@bensolo2000 No we weren't. The red flags were going off left right and centre. We knew we had breached FFP in one summer. Plenty of questions were asked. Don't lump us in with the plastic glory hunters of the PL. Spending big was not the Reading way. And he didn't spend all that money on players anyway. Of all that 260 mill he probably only spent about 30 mill. The rest is debt piled on the club by selling our assets to himself and his company charging us a fortune to use his stadium.....as well as paying stupid salary money to players like Liam Moore who we wanted to sell to Brighton for 15mill and Dai decided he wanted to keep and pay 35k a week. Noone wanted to spend this money.

@@bensolo2000Count the original owner in with that. When you’ve spent the majority of your history in the 3rd tier that’s your level. Someone throwing money about does nothing other than getting you accustomed to more of the same.

Simon's logic is stupid anyway. "It's all very well complaining that I've broken your neck, but you weren't complaining when I was giving you a massage earlier." I don't know how he gets away with his absolute BS.

Too late to do anything. Legally impossible. However you are spot on about being deemed fit and proper. Those mechanisms are supposed to be used to avoid the situation you're in now. And if the dissolving of 2 clubs prior doesn't raise alarms, what does? This is where 2 birds can be killed with One stone. I think FFP is a farce and a tool of protectionism. I think anyone should be able to buy a club and then spend what they want. However I would advocate for a system where when a club is brought, between 50% and 100% of the purchase price is matched and put into "kitty" by the owner and custodied by the league. All transfer expenditure for 3 years should be done the same with. After 5 - 10 years, those funds can be returned to the owner. Before that, should the club gey into difficulties those funds can be used to bail it out or even buy out (as the owner would lose them anyway). This would ensure only serious owners, and owners that can genuinely afford to run the club and absorb possible losses would involve themselves. It would allow new owners to spend to compete with the big boys if they so wish but to do so at their own risk and not ay the risk of their own club. Oh and NO leveraged buyouts of football clubs! Retrospectively this would be all too late for Reading but it's surely a better way to do things than whatever the f**k we have now.

You're going down.

then fans crowdfund and buy it

So’s the bloke who called up and sounded like he was on the verge of tears cos his football team isn’t doing very well 😂😂🤡

@@lolitapitpong3826 alright mate, don’t cry.

They have started to remove comments that criticise them a bit too much aswell

MAXIMUM ENGAGEMENT unless it's mean comments

​@@adammohamed..Hilarious. I bet your 9 year old wife loves your sense of humor Mr. Mohamed.

I don't think reading fans are worried about giving port Vale the points

Well Jordan nearly bankrupted Palace so he has an affinity with diabolical football club owners.

They cut most of it cause Simon looked bad

​@@AiryedSomething they no doubt find themselves doing regularly whenever there's a discussion about owners and fans

Nah, no Police and thieves were harmed .

True words spoken

I’m a Villa fan and defo donn’t sympathise with you … UTV SOTC

Thats just dollars for donuts...

Jims main job is to stop Simon getting the show cancelled😅

​@@jtmmmm27True story. 😂

The difference is that a whistleblower from inside the club revealed that it is the owner's intention to asset strip and liquidate. The same person also revealed players were being offered for sale with the knowledge of the manager or director of football - and that part has happened. Yes, if someone makes a large bid for the club, he'd sell, but he's already put the ground and training ground into the ownership of separate companies.

Derby fans will be fully behind you we've been there got the t shirt came a hairs breath of going out of business best of luck reading for the rest of the season 👍

Yes, you are wrong.

People always assume Madejski bankrolled Reading way beyond their means to get to the premier league. The team that went up in 2006 didn't have any big earners or players signed for high fees. Coppell just had a very good knowledge of players he'd worked with before, and a good scouting network. Dai could have been a great owner, but he is just utterly incompetent, making awful decisions and trusting the wrong people. He made exactly the same mistakes at his club in Belgium, spending huge sums on bad players who actually made the club worse because they were just there for the money and didn't care. He folded them when they were in the 3rd tier too.

@@RevStickleback What made me chuckle was when it was revealed a large number of players hadn't been paid in however long and Simon Jordan effectively said on another talkSPORT video, "I don't know the clubs owner from a bar of soap but how on earth he isn't able at certain times to pay a bunch of League One players their wages on time but then simultaneously lives in a £100 million mansion right next door to Buckingham Palace does seem a bit ridiculous if not extremely laughable!!"

We didn't have these problems when we were in the prem. In fact we made a profit the year before Dai took over, I believe.

He is a contrarian but in this case he's just doing what he always does, defending another football club owner. He always always always sides with the owners. If Fred West owned a football club, Simon would defend him too.

I was about to write the same thing. As a bluenose we understand their plight. KRO

Correct, just punters 😅

oh you mean like when they got a game cancelled a few years prior to reading doing it?

@@matthewm3869 v liverpool they actually broke into stadium and protest on the pitch and getting abandonded they were not deducted points or played behind closed doors

They did

They joined in the chanting

Is right the PV love it

I didn’t mean to be disrespectful to the pv fans I was just answering the question from talk sport x

It got publicity. It put the attention of the media, most of whom wouldn't have cared in the slightest about any other protest, in the club's situation. It probably focused the EFL to push for a much harder line against Dai. A boycott would do little. Most of the money comes from season tickets, and that money is already banked, and his reaction to reduced income this season is to sack staff and cut costs. The EFL have fined him, but he has no intention to pay any fines.

@@RevStickleback some very good points made. 👍

was not the case when he purchased Reading. I can't find much online about the whining sheep Reading fans bleating when he has just brought the club or was spending fortunes on players

He failed the fit and proper person test for a lower league club just before he was allowed to buy reading. Makes no sense. Utter madness.

@@LordHighness wrong

@@awgroom There was plenty of talk about how on earth we could afford these players, and a lot about the quality of the players we were signing - based on the fact that they all seemed to be on the books of one agent Dai, for some unknown reason, trusted. Plenty of anger about how he was gutting the club from within to bring in his own staff, forcing out people who'd been there for years. Like all these things though, you never hear about problem at clubs until it gets to a very bad state.

😅 Though I did feel sorry for that reading fan Paul Mann, the poor man.

HEATED

BLASTED

Simon is not normally spot on, he talks absolute shite on a regular basis.

100%

Of course the EFL are to blame for Reading's demise as well as the owner himself - it's them who have a poorly functioning owners test that has continuously let dodgy owners take over football clubs

The EFL are to blame, this owner failed the fit and proper persons test with a lower league club shortly before bizarrely then being allowed to buy Reading. They already suspected he was not capable, yet they let it go ahead. How is it not their fault?

Exactly. Simon is often wrong in fact but weirdly he has an army of admirers on here who seem to think every single thing he says is true.

It sounds like he just wanted to buy the stadium.

Not enough though. 50 grand is nothing to him

@@speedwayfanlad3860 Still proves Simon and his BS wrong though. He said in this video the EFL couldn't do anything but clearly they can, they're just not doing enough yet.

Simon loves authority. He's a bootlicker.

Reading are in the 3rd tier relegation zone and averaging 12000 a game. That's not bad.

Even if reading fans were happy when he was spending that money, Simon's argument is still pathetic. "It's all very well complaining that he's broken your neck, but you weren't complaining when he was giving you a massage." That's his senseless logic. I don't know how he gets away with saying such stupid stuff and no-one challlenges him.

It never works I'm afraid

Exeter City

Nobody used the word "viviparous". Viviparous /vɪˈvɪp(ə)rəs,vʌɪˈvɪp(ə)rəs/ adjective adjective: viviparous 1. Zoology (of an animal) bringing forth live young which have developed inside the body of the parent. 2. Botany (of a plant) reproducing from buds which form plantlets while still attached to the parent plant, or from seeds which germinate within the fruit. Wtf are you on about?!?!?

I'm guessing he meant to say "vociferous" since that word was used a bit in this discussion. Can't say I use either of them, but there you go.

Lmao legend

🤡

It got people talking about it. Like yourself.

Apparently many Port Vale fans applauded the protest. They realise that one day it might be their club this is happening to.
